Example types with deuteron
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
The singlet deuteron is a virtual state, with a negative binding energy of main. (14 words)
The name is derived from the Greek deuteros (second), and the nucleus to be called "deuteron" or "deuton". (18 words)
The ion produced by removing the electron from a deuterium atom is known as a deuteron, not a proton. (19 words)
In the first case the deuteron is a spin triplet, so that its total spin s is 1. It also has an even parity and therefore even orbital angular momentum l ; The lower its orbital angular momentum, the lower its energy. (41 words)
The latter is symmetric if the deuteron is symmetric under parity (i.e. have an "even" or "positive" parity), and antisymmetric if the deuteron is antisymmetric under parity (i.e. have an "odd" or "negative" parity). (36 words)
Approximated wavefunction of the deuteron The deuteron wavefunction must be antisymmetric if the isospin representation is used (since a proton and a neutron are not identical particles, the wavefunction need not be antisymmetric in general). (35 words)
Example sentences (8)
Approximated wavefunction of the deuteron The deuteron wavefunction must be antisymmetric if the isospin representation is used (since a proton and a neutron are not identical particles, the wavefunction need not be antisymmetric in general).
The latter is symmetric if the deuteron is symmetric under parity (i.e. have an "even" or "positive" parity), and antisymmetric if the deuteron is antisymmetric under parity (i.e. have an "odd" or "negative" parity).
Schematic illustration of the reaction used to synthesize Λ (1405) by fusing a K- (green circle) with a proton (dark blue circle), which occurs within a deuteron nucleus.
In the first case the deuteron is a spin triplet, so that its total spin s is 1. It also has an even parity and therefore even orbital angular momentum l ; The lower its orbital angular momentum, the lower its energy.
The deuteron, being an isospin singlet, is antisymmetric under nucleons exchange due to isospin, and therefore must be symmetric under the double exchange of their spin and location.
The ion produced by removing the electron from a deuterium atom is known as a deuteron, not a proton.
The name is derived from the Greek deuteros (second), and the nucleus to be called "deuteron" or "deuton".
The singlet deuteron is a virtual state, with a negative binding energy of main.
